SOCK.

Application filed February 11, 1924.

sock having tabs extending from its upper edge and buttons for the tabs to be applied to so that a garter may be applied and the tabs extend downwardly outside of the garter to the buttons.

Further objects and advantages may appear from the drawings and specification. The drawings illustrate the invention. Figure 1 is a perspective showing asock embodying the principles of my invention in use.

Fig. 2 is a plan of the extended sock and garter as in use.

Fig. 3 is a diametrical cross section on the lines 33 of Figs. 1 and 2.

The details of the sock are as follows: The upper end of the sock 1 has a bead or roll 2 and tabs 3 and 1 extend from the bead or roll outwardly and downwardly from the opposite sides thereof to engage buttons 5 and 6. The buttons 5 and 6 are secured to the fabric body of the sock, on opposite sides thereof and are adapted to be engaged by the tabs and l. hen the sock is placed in position upon the foot and leg as in Fig. 1 the tabs 3 and 4 are left unbuttoned, then a garter 7 is applied and. suitably adjusted Serial No. 692,036.

below the roll '2 with the tabs extending outside of the garter and then the tabs are applied to the buttons. The roll 2 may be omitted or formed in various ways, it being preferable that the upper edge of the sock has some definite edge for the garter to bear against. The tabs may be knit integral with p the sock or they may be made separately and attached to the sock.

Various changes may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I claim:

1. A sock having a bead formed upon its upper edge against which a garter is adapted'to bear, a button secured upon the body of the sock below that portion covered by the garter, and a tab secured to said head and being adapted to be passed downwardly over the garter and engage said button.

2. A sock having a bead formed upon its upper edge against which a garter is adapted to bear, a button secured upon the body of the sock below that portion covered by the garter, and a tab formed integral with the sock adjacent said head and being adapted to be passed downwardly over the garter and to engage said button.

3. A sock having a bead'formed upon its upper edge against which a garter to adapt ed to bear, buttons secured upon the opposite sides of the body of the sock below that portion covered by the garter, and tabs secured to said head upon opposite sides, said tabs being adapted to be passed downwardly over the garter and to engage said buttons.

. In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
